Billing & Subscriptions
Manage your SMVue subscription, payment methods, and seat assignments.
Billing & Subscriptions is where you manage your SMVue plan, payment methods, and seat purchases.
Access Billing by going to Settings → Billing (Owner only).
Plans
SMVue has two plans: Solo and Team. Standard manager accounts start a 14-day cardless trial when a CRM is connected, before selecting a paid plan.
The Manager seat is $150/month and is the only paid seat. Rep seats and Executive seats are free and unlimited. Executive seats are read-only; Rep seats are scoped to the rep's own workspace and include narrow task-status and Inbox reply actions. For the latest pricing, open Settings → Billing in the app, which always shows live prices, or ask the in-app support chat.
Solo
For a single sales manager (or an advisor running a client's sales org).
- 1 Manager seat (you) — $150/month
- Unlimited Rep seats (free, scoped to each rep's own data)
- Unlimited Executive seats (free, read-only)
- All core coaching tools: dashboard, pipeline, meetings & prep, performance, action items, notes

- Increase Manager seat count
- Click Update
- Confirm
Pricing:
- $150/month per Manager seat (Team plan uses custom pricing — contact sales)
Executive Seats
Executive seats are free, read-only, and unlimited on every plan. Existing workspace owners can invite a member from Settings > Team and assign the Executive seat type for read-only access inside that workspace. A new organization-level Executive instead chooses Sales Executive during signup, creates the oversight organization, and invites managers into linked manager workspaces.
Rep Seats
Rep seats are always free and unlimited on every plan. They are scoped to the rep's own data and allow only the focused participation described in the Rep Seat guide.
No need to purchase Rep seats — just invite reps from Settings > Team.
